Event Locations

The Friday Open House will be at Button Box headquarters.

From the North, South, East, or West:
  • From I-91 take Exit 24.
  • Follow signs to Sunderland and Amherst by turning North off the exit ramp onto Rt. 5/10 North. This is a right turn if you're coming from the south, and a left turn if you're coming from the north.
  • At the light a few hundred feet from either off-ramp, turn right onto Rt. 116 South, going toward Amherst.
  • Cross the Connecticut River and continue straight through the traffic light in the center of Sunderland. The Button Box is on the left about two blocks from the light. Look for a two-story building with a brick facade on the lower level, across from the New 2 You consignment shop. Total distance on Rt. 116 is 1.9 miles.

Parking in downtown Greenfield

You can often find on-street metered parking in Greenfield. Most meters don't need to be fed after 6:00 pm. There is a modest-sized parking lot more or less across the street from the Church, adjacent to the Greenfield Library, and a larger lot on Hope Street, on the small hill behind the Courthouse. Check signs to be sure you're not leaving your car in a reserved space.

Another large lot is behind Wilson's Department Store, on Main Street west of the Church, and there are several smaller lots scattered around town, mostly a block or so north of Main Street.

Lodging Suggestions

The area offers numerous lodging possibilities. The Franklin County Chamber of Commerce website lists a few here.
